Using the theory of evolution, the first modern humans originated in Africa, and from there they migrated to Eurasia and Australasia. These humans carried with them the genetic basis of schizophrenia, the only major illness found the the same extent in all racial groups. This universal distribution shows the disease must have been present before the races separated. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Essentially, it suggests that schizophrenia has been pivotal in shaping the major creations and inventions in human kind - as well as shaping religious developments and movements - among other things. It talks about the links between genius and schizophrenia, drawing upon case studies, extrapolation, and research to support his theory that without schizophrenia, our world would not be the wonderful - and horrifying - place that it is today.
I mainly bought this book because of its brief references to schizophrenia within shamanism, but this book has enough meat in it, and is interesting enough, that you don't even really need to be interested in schizophrenia in order to enjoy it. ( )
